BTW I hope you aren't spying on us? :-) After some convincing of the wife :-) we joined up for green power last year. The cost increase has been very small, and offset by a decrease in the use of the dogs outside light - the poor things now sit in the dark at night. Of course I know my bit will make next to no difference..... BTW went for the long drive to Baw Baw (only 140km but 3 hours of stomach wrenching corners) on Sunday. There was a fair cover of patchy snow above about the 1500m level - enough to build a snow man (any excuse to play in the snow!) and throw snowballs (the summit is at ~1560M). It was quite amazing how tight the snow/no snow line was with a transition from no snow to quite widespread cover (~50%) over a distance of no more than 20 metres elevation. Oh and yes.... I drove the car. Cheers, David. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from aussie-weather send e-mail to:majordomo at world.std.com with "unsubscribe aussie-weather your_email_address" in the body of your message. -----------------------jacob at iinet.net.au------------------------------ 003 From: Blair Trewin [blair at met.Unimelb.EDU.AU] Subject: Re: aus-wx: Cold in Parafield 4c??????

The minimum was 3.0 (Parafield appears to only report to whole degrees). Interesting contrast on Kangaroo Island - Kingscote had a min of 16.0, and Kingscote Airport 2.2. Large differences between these two are not uncommon (Kingscote PO is a very poor site with bitumen nearby, and it is on the coast, whereas the airport is several kilometres inland), but 13.8 is the biggest contrast I can remember seeing.

News to me - and I'm on the workplace committee of one of the unions so I'd expect to have heard something about it if we were supposed to be on strike :-) (I've been away for a couple of weeks and might have missed something, but there's no reason for there to have been any industrial action - we've just had a new workplace agreement approved by an overwhelming margin). There might have been some industrial action somewhere in the communications chain between the Bureau and Foxtel, but I suspect a more likely explanation is that there's been a technical failure somewhere and the reference was put in there by mistake.

(I've done one live TV interview myself, on the Cloncurry 'record' a couple of years ago, but I had the benefit of having had a couple of radio interviews on the same subject the day before to iron out the bugs). It's also unpredictable what will happen in an interview situation - I wasn't told that the interview would be a head-to-head with the aggrieved local mayor (although it came as no great surprise). Who was the climatologist, and what did he/she have to say?

Hey All

Just thought Id post this to the list. Last Thursday (20th) we had some small pulse storms develop nearby and I took these photos. Everybody I've asked about them has had a different idea. The most common (and the one I agree with) is that its a small hail shaft. I did have a look for a damage path it but occured over pasture land and the only new trees down where probably caused from the strong winds we had yesterday.

Anyway, Ill leave it up to you.

Howie.

Date: Wed, 26 Apr 2000 18:16:59 EST Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com We just moved back to Townsville a week ago and all day today the local radio station 4TO and the local media have been crossing to the Townsville Weather Office on a Tropical Low forming off the Southern Tip of PNG. Despite tapping into the Burea's website throughout the day still no mention of the low exists, even in the "Tropical Cyclone Outlook" issued at about 3.40pm today. Meteorolgists from the Townsville Weather Office seem to think this system has a "chance" of developing into a TC and is moving slowly South East at the moment. We could be in for another one by the looks yet the "official" Bureau Forcasts remain silent on the system altogether (even in the Queensland Weather Outlook). Why ? The Joint Typhoon Warning Centre has the co-ords as 13.2S 146.7 E. Last time I lived here and this sort of thing happened I woke up the next morning with a cyclone on my doorstep. Supposed to be camping and boating at Lucinda tomorrow for a week. Should I go ?

It's obvious we live in two totally different climates, with two different standards of what's 'good weather' and what isn't... i can't oppolagise for not being as excited as the VIC's might be about something like this - but if you like i can add a few !!!!!'s in my emails if it makes you feel better :P ----- Original Message ----- From: MSC [cadence at rubix.net.au] To: [aussie-weather at world.std.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 26, 2000 9:40 PM Subject: aus-wx: Re:very bad humour > Ben.....Ben.....Ben....., > > > > .......we may have to kill you if you keep doing this sort of thing to > us down here (and then being dismissive of things that look to me to be > grunty congesting cumulus with half a chance of doing something vaguely > spectacular (like breaking the cap!!!)!!!!) > > In our neck of the woods ie: the bottom part of Australia - that sort of > (nice???!!!!!) thing would have us all suddenly getting very ill and > having to leave work, take 2 rolls of film, flatten a video camera > battery or two and then proceed to the doctor's surgery to get a medical > certificate to cover the day......now if you'd like to join us on a > couple of days like we had today full of "Cumulus humilis desertus > boringus" like you can find in the top pic (if you look hard enough) on > > http://www.rubix.net.au/~cadence/melbourne.htm > > .....you'll begin to understand why we over-react like we do when you do > this to us > > < end really silly response> > > Jane ONeill > (just me - I'm not game to represent anyone else with a response like > this ) > > Ben Quinn wrote: > > > > Hi Everyone, > > > > Some nice (almost impressive) Cu and showers around Brisbane today too.. a > > few digi cam pics > > > > Probably the best ones > > > > http://www.bsch.simplenet.com/pictures/assor/26-04-2000/26-04-200002.jpg > > http://www.bsch.simplenet.com/pictures/assor/26-04-2000/26-04-200007.jpg > > http://www.bsch.simplenet.com/pictures/assor/26-04-2000/26-04-200008.jpg > > > > And some more here > > > > http://www.bsch.simplenet.com/pictures/assor/26-04-2000/ > > > > Quite a tidy little shower - the rain curtain and base look rather dark in a > > lot of the shots because i had to darken the pictures so you could see the > > tops better (digi cams realy don't like bright white high cloud behind > > whatever you're photographing) - it wasn't quite that dark in real life.. > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: Rune Peitersen > > To: > > Sent: Thursday, April 27, 2000 10:32 AM > > Subject: aus-wx: heavy showers > > > > > Impressive cumulus has been developing from the coast here in sydney all > > > afternoon and after the forecast read drizzle overnight, we just scored > > 8mm > > > in 6 minutes here,, not bad!... > > > > > > ________________________________________________________________________ > > > Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com > > > > > > +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ > > > To unsubscribe from aussie-weather send e-mail to:majordomo at world.std.com > > > with "unsubscribe aussie-weather your_email_address" in the body of your > > > message. > > -----------------------jacob at iinet.net.au------------------------------ > > > > > > > +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ > > To unsubscribe from aussie-weather send e-mail to:majordomo at world.std.com > > with "unsubscribe aussie-weather your_email_address" in the body of your > > message. > > -----------------------jacob at iinet.net.au------------------------------ > +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ > To unsubscribe from aussie-weather send e-mail to:majordomo at world.std.com > with "unsubscribe aussie-weather your_email_address" in the body of your > message. > -----------------------jacob at iinet.net.au------------------------------ > +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from aussie-weather send e-mail to:majordomo at world.std.com with "unsubscribe aussie-weather your_email_address" in the body of your message. -----------------------jacob at iinet.net.au------------------------------ 019 Date: Wed, 26 Apr 2000 23:31:49 +1000 From: Anthony Cornelius [cyclone at flatrate.net.au] X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.72 [en] (Win98; I) X-Accept-Language: en To: Australian Weather Mailing List [aussie-weather at world.std.com] Subject: aus-wx: Next QLD ASWA Meeting Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Hi all! This invitation also applies to visitors and guests! You don't need to be an ASWA member to attend the meeting! Or if you're interested in finding out what ASWA is about, please come along and see! This is a reminder about the next QLD ASWA meeting that will take place on Saturday, the 6th of May. The meeting address is at the usual place: Unit 9/14 Argon St. Sumner. The meeting commences at 10am, and will conclude no later than 2-3pm. This meeting is somewhat special for ASWA, as approximately one year ago, QLD ASWA members finally filled out their forms to become ASWA members. The QLD member base has grown considerably, from only 6 members on the 1st of May, 1999, to currently 48 members. ASWA, Australia (and world-wide as we have some international members), now has 189 members - which is certainly a very impressive number! I'd like to thank John for allowing us to host the ASWA meetings in his office for over the past year! It's been a great help to us for our meetings, and certainly a very kind gesture. The meeting agenda for May 6 will generally consist of a few admin matters: - AGM - Storm Seminar - Lightning Tracker As well as a few other matters. If you'd like anything to be brought up in the admin section of the agenda, please contact me and I'll insert it. As mentioned previously, the theme for this meeting will be a "Reflection of the Past." This is because of possibly one of the worst thunderstorm seasons on record, and it'd be good for all to reflect back on previous years. So if people have any footage, or photos that they'd like to share, please bring them along! With photos, we will use a video camera and connect it to a TV to make it easier for people to see. So you don't need video footage! Even if you have one or two photos, bring them! We'll also be planning a casual discussion of a few thoughts of what may have caused the abnormal summer in SE QLD. A few people have suggested this to me, and I believe this is a great idea. Please bring $3 for pizza and drinks! There was no QLD ASWA meeting in April, and there will not be a QLD ASWA meeting in June, so please come along and participate, and meet others! Don't be shy, everyone is very friendly and welcoming of others! If you can come, please give me a quick email on cyclone at flatrate.net.au so I can organise food & seating arrangements. Thanks!
